Read The Mouse and the Apple by Stephen Butler, I Know It's Autumn by Eileen Spinelli, and Mr. Peabody's Apples by Madonna. Since it's the birthday of Jonas Salk, read Jonas Salk and the Polio Vaccine by Katherine Krohn. Then The Girl Who Loved Caterpillars by Jean Merrill, How to Be a Samurai Warrior by Fiona Macdonald, The Way We Do It in Japan by Geneva Cobb Iijima, and The Funny Little Woman by Arlene Mosel. After lunch, spelling and math, we made geta (Japanese clogs) from Make It Work! Japan by Andrew Haslam,



and made koi noburi (fish-shaped wind socks) from Traditional Crafts from Japan by Florence Temko.



I assigned E to read Sword of the Samurai by Eric A. Kimmel, but she already had!
